Unlocking Ideas Project

Unlocking Ideas is a collaborative project with the Working Class Movement Library in Salford. It makes links between the organisations, drawing out the stories that are currently hidden in the collections. The outcomes are revealed through the blog Unlocking Ideas. The project also seeks to work with community and school groups so they can use the collections for their own research, and then tell the world about it. If you’d like to know more please contact chris.burgess@phm.org.uk.
